Pizza garden (or cuke in a bottle).

Show Date: 18 Jun 09

Kids are outta school and already they’ve spent hours sitting in front of some electronic device. Let’s get them dirty! Create a 6 foot diameter circle for a pizza garden!

Plant wedges of basil, oregano, parsley, onions (long-day variety for our climate), peppers and tomatoes. I would suggest a couple of types of peppers, maybe a mild chili pepper and a bell pepper. Try a grape tomato like ‘Yellow Pear’ for some other color and a cherry tomato like ‘Sweet 100.’

Little kids like the ‘Cuke in a Bottle.’ Choose an immature fruit on your cucumber plant and put a soda bottle over it. Be sure to poke holes in the bottle so you don’t fry the little cuke while it grows inside.
